The 2026 edition of the Great Glebe Garage Sale is scheduled to take place on Saturday May 23, 2026.
Welcome to the Great Glebe Garage Sale Committee
The Great Glebe Garage Sale is a popular community event held in the Glebe since 1986. The sale is always the fourth Saturday in May. The in-person sale will return in 2026 and is set to happen on Saturday May 23, 2026 (from 8am to 2pm).
Glebe residents are the primary vendors selling their stuff from their front lawns, driveways and porches. Glebe merchants also hold a huge sidewalk sale. Collectively they make one giant event that has become an annual community festival attracting thousands of people to the neighbourhood. From the start of the Great Glebe Garage Sale, the Glebe Community Association has encouraged everyone to voluntarily donate some of their proceeds to the Ottawa Food Bank. As a charitable organization, the Ottawa Food Bank will issue tax receipts for donations.
